SuperNova, was Re: Satisfaction with Informix

"Billy Wheeler" <billy@west.co.za> offerred: :I'd give Informix a 5 on the server side. Never heard of Vantive. We :use Informix-4GL, Informix-NewEra, ESQL/C, HTML, Java and SuperNova :as clients. How do you like SuperNova? I saw a demo of their 4gl tool, and while it was nice having 4gl apps running on a PC, I thought their current architecture was a bit complex (they had to run 4J on a sco box, then capture the screen commands and send that to the PC, if I understood correctly what was going on). I also found it odd that they chose to implement the ring menus as buttons aligned vertically on the side, rather than at the top of the window. I'm particularly interested in any technology that will take completely native 4gl code and produce something that will run cleanly in a windows gui manner, while maintaining the general flow of the familiar 4gl (oh yeah, and is not interpreted code).
